It is time

There is a lot of talk about healthcare reform. Pharmaceutical companies, the medical insurance industry, medical device manufacturers, etc -- all were at the table "negotiating" healthcare changes with the government, except...patients.

Patients are what healthcare is all about. It is time for the 320,000,000+ pound elephant in the room to stand up and be recognized. It is time for patients to have a voice, and be heard. It is time for patients to design healthcare that works for them, and instruct their government and industry how things will work. It is time for healthcare of the people, by the people, and for the people.
